Water Ingestion Into Axial Flow Compressors

Abstract

The problem of the flow of a gas-liquid mixture through a multi-stage axial compressor originally designed for air flow arises during take-off from a rough runway with water on it and during rain. Preliminary investigations have revealed the problem areas in the fan, L.P., and H.P. compressor stages. The basic aerothermodynamic equations have been deduced in a form suitable for considering development of a computational program.
